Had their chopped steak burger with mash and veg for lunch. Waitress was really helpful with the gluten free options. Their sauce has wheat in it so I avoided that, but the meal was still excellent. She did warn me that they do not have a dedicated work space in the kitchen.
Best place to go if you have Celiac. Managers had celiac and take special care of you. They have my business for as long as I live here.
they no longer have a dedicated fryer. was informed by server today, that the former dedicated fryer is used for overflow fried onions during busy times. Just confirmed with 2nd server that there is no dedicated fryer.

I have only eaten at this restaurant once, but they seemed very knowledgeable about celiac disease. I did not get contaminated.
The staff is always so knowledgeable and helpful.
Very knowledgeable with a wide and tasty selection
Owner stopped by table and shared that he is also celiac. Good extensive gluten free menu. Service is great and food is great.
Simply amazing! the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly i will be a repeat customer. one of the best gf restaurants in Boise!

Excellent experience. I mentioned having celiac and the waitress immediately knew everything I would need. I was able to have the Alice springs chicken, mashed potatoes, and... the chocolate thunder from down under. It felt like the old days before a diagnosis- finally felt free to eat. Be sure to check out outbacks website for their specific GF menu. Makes it a lot easier to order.
Everything was great as usual. Love that this is a safe place for me to eat as a celiac.
Hector helped us and got it right. We got the Rib Eye gluten free and it was excellent. No sign of any reaction from an extremely sensitive Celiac. Two could easily split that steak.
Very disappointed. Usually an outback is my go-to place when travelling. I always use a NIMA to test my food and the steak failed, the steak! I was able to eat the salad, but not the least, why?!! The manager had to come by as always, and wasn't surprised or apologetic either. Just like an "oh well". I would not recommend this place mainly for the manager's attitude and the fact that the steak failed. Salads I understand, but not the grill.
Gluten free menu with quite a few options. I had a smothered chicken that came with a mustard sauce. It was very good.
While I did not get sick the restaurant was disorganized and not very clean, with lots of crumbs on my seat and smushed French fries under the table. The staff seemed eager to help but not 100 percent clear on the concept of food that is safe for celiacs. A disappointment because Outback has been a reliable friend for business travel and we miss the Outback that used to be in Wheaton.
They have a nice gluten free menu but I got cross contamination somewhere on my steak and shrimp. My date ordered a gluten free salad and it came with croutons, I would not trust it if your celiac.
Staff was able to discuss the celiac protocol. There is a separate menu. The dessert was AMAZING- warm chocolate pecan brownie with chocolate fudge, ice cream, and whipped topping. It was 1500 calories, but it was worth every calorie!
Lots of gluten free options on their menu.
I told the staff that I needed gluten free. The owners daughter is also gluten free, which makes what happened really surprising. I ordered a salad with no croutons. I ate about half of it before finding a crouton on the bottom.
Pretty good sized gluten-free menu, staff is knowledgeable on gluten-free. I’ve eaten here numerous times and never had an issue
Most menu options are GF and staff is willing to accomodate
My family has eaten here several times over the past few years. This Outback delivers! Very safe and well trained staff!
I eat here all the time. They have a decent menu and several options.
They have a GF menu. Waiter was very knowledgeable also. It is chain food but decent. Came out done properly and hot.
The manager was very knowledgeable, talked to me about the process to keep my food safe, and the gf menu had lots of options. I had a wonderful experience.
I had a really nice experience here! I ordered the grilled chicken and my mom (also celiacs) ordered a sirloin. I’m also dairy-free so I asked for my chicken with no butter. The waitress accidentally pressed the wrong button so the manager came out to talk to me and told me they were remaking the chicken. Once I got it, it was very juicy and tasty.
Gluten free menu staff were knowledgeable
Love to eat here. One of the waitresses is extremely knowledgeable about Celiac and very helpful. Food is great and I love the gf chocolate thunder.
We ate at this particular location a few months back and somewhere along the line, I consumed gluten, as evidenced by my quick body response. We went back a week or so ago and I had my staple (Alice Springs chicken) and an alcoholic beverage (of which I did copious phone/Internet research because I'm one of those that can't have distilled beverages if the starting grain is gluten-containing). I'm happy to say I was not cross-contaminated this visit and our waitress took excellent care of me. Outback is almost always a safe place for me to eat and instances of contamination are very few for me. If I'd gotten sick a second time here, I probably wouldn't go back.
Great little gluten free menu. My son had the 6oz sirloin with a loaded baked potato and he was in heaven and ate all of his food. I had a 9oz sirloin with mashed potatoes. We then both got the desert “chocolate thunder from down under”. So good we will be back. Very knowledgeable about gluten free items. My son has Celiac Disease and I have EoE. Felt very comfortable eating there. Thank you 😊
They try, but too many issues. Got a salad and the dressing had a crouton at the bottom of the bowl. Not saying it was intentional, but either there was a crouton in their main dressing container or it fell into the bowl when they poured it. Neither make me confident.
The manager came to my table to ensure the safe measures they use. They even had a GF dessert. Knowledge location for sure!
Knowledgeable staff. Gluten free menu. Excellent allergen protocols.
Had a very nice meal here a couple of nights ago, they have quite an extensive GF menu so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. waiter himself admitted he wasn’t knowledgable about what was gluten free but he was careful to put my meal through following their procedures and my food was brought out separately to the rest of my party by a manager. One star knocked off because of the waiters limited knowledge but overall they know enough to keep you safe.
Daughter got sick after eating here. They said all the right things but food got contaminated somehow. We will not be back.
Nima tested Caesar salad was safe. Steak and baked potato with butter, cheese, and bacon was not safe. Second attempt with the manger supervising the cooking with just butter on potato was safe.
Awesome steak and mashed potatoes. The staff has been very accommodating every time I have been here. They will let you substitute something that is gluten free for the things that aren’t.
Very safe with my food. I go here regularly and have no issues
I eat here often and have never had a issue and I’m a very sensitive celiac.
I am celiac. Restaurant amazingly knowledgeable and waiters/bartenders very patient and helpful. The sweet potato is amazing as is the chocolate thunder down under brownie! Highly recommend.
Wonderful GF Options, including Baby Back Ribs, Steak, Chicken and great side dishes too!!
Found a crouton in the salad dressing not just once but twice (the replacement also had a crouton in the dressing). Turns out the croutons are located directly above the dressing vats and fall in. Recommend asking for the dressing to be poured directly from the container instead of the vat on the salad line. Specify that your ticket should be an allergy ticket. It is supposed to be treated differently but in my case was not. Ask for a manager to handle your ticket.
Always have a safe meal. Have gone st least 5 times.
Sick before I left. My meal was messed up and I returned it and when I asked if the replacement was gf she replied “they all are”, which tells me they aren’t taking cross contamination seriously. Won’t be back
The Outback Steakhouse takes safe gluten free food very seriously. My waitress provided me with a GF menu and there were quite a few options. I had the chicken/ribs platter with mashed potatoes and it was delicious! The portion was good. I also indulged in the GF brownie which was amazing. Don’t leave without trying it!!! The waitress reassured me it was safe (because it was so good I had to ask...twice 🙈)! Would definitely return!!
Consistently delicious food, and lots of gluten free options including an amazing dessert option, chocolate thunder down under.
Food is great! Staff is knowledgeable and properly trained for cross contamination. Lots of options, and dessert no bake brownie was awesome!
They have a decent gluten free menu and our waitress was very well versed on allergies. We've had great experience with no issues.
The staff was very nice and friendly. The food was excellent. Grate Gluten free desert.
I called before coming here and the manager told me he had celiac! I told our waitress and she knew exactly what I meant and informed the kitchen. We were celebrating my birthday and they brought us their gluten free dessert on the house!
This location has a good kitchen, eaten here many times, never been sick. Used my NIMA tester every time, my food always passes here.
We have eaten here a couple times with my celiac daughter and she has not been sick. They have great gf options.
GF menu. Enjoyed salmon and sweet potato but lots of choices on GF menu
Gluten Free menu and great choices. Had the Victoria filet with a baked potato. My salad was without croutons. Then, we had the thunder from down under... who knew that is GF. So yummy. No ill effects and happy to have a delicious meal.
I was a bit worried after some reviews, but our experiance was wonderful. My husband has celiac and my daughter has an anaphylactic allergic response to garlic. The kitchen manager came out and personally addressed our issues. They went to far to cook both meals in tinfoil pans they made. I was very inpressed with the detail they spent on our meal
Large gluten friendly menu with a variety.
Let me start by saying none of us got sick- yay While the steak was excellent, the salmon and the chicken were over cooked we should have sent them back but the kids were hungry so we dealt with it. The chicken was also spicy- we weren’t expecting that. Dessert was yummy so all in all not too bad. Next time we’ll stick with the steak
Not the best tasting steak dinner out there but we were hungry after seeing a show, and this was open at 11pm - I had zero issue with x-contamination & was sure to let my server know my needs. had potatoes, green beans & sirloin ... happy celiac belly afterwards :)
We visit this location frequently. The servers have been very accommodating. My son enjoys a steak that is cooked on the grill on tin foil. The fries are not gluten free.
